Evaluating Your Team’s Playoff Chances Before Fantasy Football Season
I just finished a draft this week and after rosterbating to the obvious championship quality of my lineup for the past several days, I needed something more. I could get no more satisfaction without the endorsement of a neutral third party. I see people ask “How does my team look?” all the time. Some people…… Continue reading Evaluating Your Team’s Playoff Chances Before Fantasy Football Season
My Much-Too-Late 2011 Fantasy Football Sleepers and Value Picks List
I’ve been a slacker this season when it comes to posting my sleepers and value picks. I tweeted about quite a few of them throughout the offseason and preseason, but if you weren’t following me there, you might have missed out.

How to Tier Your Player Rankings for a Fantasy Football Draft Day Cheatsheet
Tiering your cheatsheet is, in my opinion, the most critical of all draft day preparations you can make before your fantasy football season. Sure, you can read injury reports all day long.

How to Win Your Fantasy Football League on Draft Day – vers. 2010
When it comes to fantasy football draft strategy, I’ve tried almost everything. RB-RB? Of course. Draft a quarterback in the first round? Sure. WR-WR? Most definitely. But all this trial and error has paid off. After hammering out what I think is my best strategy to date last season in the “cutting out the middle…… Continue reading How to Win Your Fantasy Football League on Draft Day – vers. 2010
Should you draft Chris Johnson at No. 1?
Yes. So much yes. Don’t get caught up in the hype of this Adrian Peterson vs. Chris Johnson debate. Sure, Chris Johnson had a phenom year. He broke 400 touches in 2009. He may not do that in 2010; in fact, he probably won’t. There’s a good chance he could suffer a setback or injury…… Continue reading Should you draft Chris Johnson at No. 1?
Brett Favre made me do it
I told myself I wasn’t going to do this. After the Saints won the Super Bowl, I wanted to take a little more time off than usual from blogging this offseason.
